EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION AND DATA
EQUIPMENT CHARACTERISTICS, CAPABILITIES, AND FEATURES
a.
Equipment Characteristics.
The HEMTT THAAD vehicle is a tactical wheeled vehicle with an integral self-load/unload capability.
Major
subsystems of the vehicle are:
cab, engine, transmission, drive train, suspension, electrical system, hydraulic
system, pneumatic system, and Load Handling System (LHS).
b.
Capabilities.
1.
The HEMTT THAAD is capable of operating in temperatures from -25 to 120ºF (-32 to 49ºC) and to
-50ºF (-46ºC) with arctic heater kit installed.
2.
The HEMTT THAAD can ford water up to 30 in. (76 cm) deep for five minutes without damage or
requiring maintenance before operation can continue.
3.
Normal operating range for the HEMTT THAAD is 300 mi. (483 km) based on 154 gal (583 L) of fuel and
76,000 lbs (34,504 kg) GVWR, traveling over mixed terrain.
Varying loads; prolonged idle; use of the
LHS, MRP controls, or outriggers; off-road driving and; climatic conditions affect operating range.
4.
The HEMTT THAAD incorporates sufficient tiedown points located so that vehicle can be restrained in all
directions during air transport.
The HEMTT THAAD is capable of transport by highway.
c.
Features.
1.
Eight-cylinder, V-type, two-cycle, fuel-injected, turbocharged diesel engine.
2.
High/low range transfer case.
3.
Power steering system consists of a basic manual steering system with a hydraulic boost.
4.
Mechanical steering linkage also provides operator control in event of hydraulic oil pressure loss.
5.
Fuel system includes one main fuel tank, fuel lines, fuel water separator, fuel pump, secondary fuel filter,
fuel pipes, and fuel injectors.
6.
Incorporates an LHS system that allows a single operator to load/unload an MRP.
7.
MRP system allows a single operator to deploy an MRP.
8.
Multiple warning decals, indicators, gages, and buzzers protect LHS and MRP systems from damage by
warning operator about unsafe operating conditions.
9.
Circuit breakers protect electrical systems from damage and can be reset from the cab.
10.
Hydraulic system has backup systems in the event of hydraulic or electrical system failure.
11.
Incorporates outriggers to stabilize vehicle during deployment of MRP and launching of missiles.
12.
Incorporates an air-ride suspension system on rear tandem axles.
